Notes on dubbing from video devices

If you start dubbing after more than 10 minutes since you inserted the disc into the DVDirect, dubbing will takes a few seconds to start. Start dubbing immediately after inserting the disc.

If you stop playback on the camcorder or video device during dubbing (or the video signal is interrupted), the DVDirect pauses dubbing. To resume dubbing, restart playback on the video device. If no video signal is detected for 2 minutes, dubbing stops.

If you press the (stop) button, you may hear the noise of the disc turning momentarily.
